XML Report - Conditionally showing a column in between other columns

I have a XML Report, with columns
A, B, C, D
Now I need to add a new column E in between B and C when certain condition is satisfied.
A, B, E, C, D
for column E, I kept <?if:column='X'?> columnname <?endif?>.
When condition is satisfied it is displaying column and also values, but when not an empty column is displayed with no values, I dont want this empty column when condition is not satisfied.
It should just show A, B, C, D instead of A, B, , C, D
Request you to help me with my requirement.

Hi Kavipriya, thanks for response.
I tried below condition for that column:
<?if@column:OM_Due_Date_X='Y'?> <?OM_Due_Date_L?> <?end if?>
I am setting OM_Due_Date_X in sql package to 'Y' if customer is 'Rob' else it will be 'N'.
If 'Y', then I am displaying a column name OM Due Date which is <"OM_Due_Date_L?>
Now for Column values it is just <?OM_Due_Date?>
Do I need to change anything here ?

Render a column based on other column value in the same table

JDev 11.1.1.6.0
This may be a silly question but I am stuck
I need to conditionally render a column say A. Condition is like if the value in the other column B of same table is equal to F. I should render column A only when this condition is satisfied. I have tried the following code:
<af:column sortProperty="PhoneNumber1"
sortable="false"
headerText="#{bindings.A.hints.PhoneNumber1.label}"
id="c146"
rendered="#{row.PhoneNumber1ResponseFlag eq 'F'}">
<af:outputText value="#{row.PhoneNumber1}"
id="ot130"/>
</af:column>
<af:column sortProperty="PhoneNumber1ResponseFlag"
sortable="false"
headerText="#{bindings.B.hints.PhoneNumber1ResponseFlag.label}"
id="c80" rendered="true">
<af:outputText value="#{row.PhoneNumber1ResponseFlag}"
id="ot129"/>
</af:column>
The data shown in the table for column PhoneNumber1ResponseFlag is F. Still my condition is not working.

Timo was saying that it is not possible to render the column in some situations and not in anothers, you will always have to render the column.
The best way to do this is instead of showing a column with the text ' ', show something meaningfull to the user. This is a DataWarehouse advice to you and may be usefull since you're using ADF in a area that uses DataWarehouse..
So the code could be something like this (based on Timo's code):
<af:column sortProperty="PhoneNumber1"
sortable="false"
headerText="#{bindings.A.hints.PhoneNumber1.label}"
id="c146">
<af:outputText value="#{row.PhoneNumber1ResponseFlag eq 'False.' ? row.PhoneNumber1 : 'No value applied.'"
id="ot130"/>
</af:column>
<af:column sortProperty="PhoneNumber1ResponseFlag"
sortable="false"
headerText="#{bindings.B.hints.PhoneNumber1ResponseFlag.label}"
id="c80">
<af:outputText value="#{row.PhoneNumber1ResponseFlag}"
id="ot129"/>
</af:column>
Hope that helps,
Frederico.

Columns merged with other columns?

how do I achieve the following?
I want to have a tabular form as following
The first line of the tabular form will only be 3 columns (eg. col1,col2,col3). those three columns will then be broken down into 9 columns (ed. col1 - no column, col2 will have col4,col5,col6, and col7, col3 wil have col8 to col12.) on the second line.
Any ideas? I know it is possible to do with html but i'm not sure how to process it in APEX

What I typically do first is to look at a report template from the current theme and see what CSS classes they are using against the tables, headers and rows. I will copy the entries to a text document so I can easily reference them.
The you create a new report template from scratch and as a Named Column (row template).
This type template allows you to specify where each column goes by using a substitution variable for the selected column.
The query I used in the example was
select ename, job, sal
from emp
For the Row Template 1 field under Row Template section, I put
<tr><td>#ENAME#</td><td>#JOB#</td><td>#SAL#</td></tr>
In the Before first and after last row text section I put
1. in the Before rows field
<style type="text/css">
table.outln {border-collapse:collapse;}
table.outln td {border: solid #000 1px;padding:5px;}
</style>
<table cellpadding="0" border="0" cellspacing="0" summary="" class="t9standardalternatingrowcolors outln" border="1">
<tr><th class="t9header" colspan="2">Name / Job</th><th class="t9header">Salary</th></tr>
2. In the After Rows field
</table>
This type of template is REALLY powerful. The only issues that I have run into in the past is that the order of the columns in your query should be the same as the order in which they are used in your row template. I am not sure if it is still an issue, but I have experience issues in the past that when you later change the query and the order is different then the rows are actually put in by position and not by name. To fix that problem I just drop the report and recreate.
If you happen to have my book by Oracle Press, HTML DB Handbook, there is a good description of this type of template on pages 211- 215.
The book is a little old now (almost 2 years). Just happened that they renamed HTML DB to ApEx the month before the book was published. It covers ver 2.0, but still has some good info in it.

Navigate from report to dashboard and pass values between different column

Hello
I have a question about navigating from 1 report to a dashboard page while passing the value from column 1 to column 2 in the second report...
In OBIEE 11G, I create action link on report 1, column 1 and this action link is navigate to BI Content and the destination is a dashboard page, which has column 2 used as dashboard prompt and there are 3 reports all use column 2 to filter. Now the column 2 in the dashboard page is an alias of column 1 from report 1, from user's point of view they are the same, but from OBIEE point of view they are different.
My action link is able to navigate to dashboard, however, the value in column 1 which I clicked to execute the navigation, does not get passed to column 2 as the dashboard prompt doesn't get this value upon navigation..
Since I can't put column 1 in dashboard 2 nor can I put column 2 in report 1. Because our data model is done in the way that if I use column 1 or column 2 in both places, it will be circular joins...
Is there a way around this issue?
Let me know if I need to provide more clarification
Thanks

Sid
Here is the thing..
Let's say we have Dimension 1, dimension 2 and fact 1 and fact 2
In one report, you need to show Dimension 2 and fact 1 so Dimension 2 joins to fact 1.
In some other cases, you need to shown dimension 1 and fact 2 stuffs, but dimension 1 can't get to fact 2 without going through dimension 2. So Dim 1 --> Dim 2 --> Fact 2
Then in some other cases, you need to show Dim 1 and Fact 1 reports..
In means, your model will look at:
Dim1 --> DIm2 and Dim 1 --> Fact 1 and Dim 2 --> Fact 1.. This is just a simpler version of a much more complex model that I am dealing with now..
So in this case, you can't just use Dim 1 attributes across the board. For some dashboards, you will have to create alias of Dim 1, call it A1_Dim1, un-join Dim1 with Dim 2 or to fact 1 to avoid circular joins... Then in different reports, you either use columns from Dim 1 or A1_Dim1..
Now Dim1 and A1_DIM1 are really the same thing, but they are not according to OBIEE...
So my problem is, in report 1 where Dim1 is used, it can't past values to Dashboard 2 where A1_DIM1 is used as dashboard prompt..
I want to know if there is a way around this issue
Hope this makes more sense now
Thanks

Need to filter unique columns based on other column's values

I'm rookie and I'm running this query:
SELECT TO_NUMBER (hs_key) bug, "HS_TABLE_NAME", "HS_COLUMN_NAME",
"HS_CHANGE_DATE", "HS_CHANGE_TIME", "HS_CHANGER", "HS_NEW_VALUE"
FROM cb_tdqatodo1_history

AND (hs_change_date, hs_key) IN (
SELECT MAX (hs_change_date) hs_change_date,

1020     BUG     BG_STATUS     1/28/2005     17:04:45     fgonzalez     Not a Bug
I need to resolve the cases when the field BUG has the same value in HS_CHANGE_DATE but different value in HS_CHANGE_TIME without impact the rest of the records?
In this case I need the result just show me one Bug per line.
Thanks

Basically you want to create two filters on different columns and have OR clause between them instead of an AND. To acheive this, add both of your filters, once added you will the them in the filters section. Click on AND, and it will change to OR. This should solve your problem.
Look at the below image where you can see two filters with an AND clause. Clicking on AND will change it into OR.

TableView - How to update a running balance column after any other column in the view is re-sorted

To keep this simple and to illustrate a problem that I am trying to solve let's say we have
a domain class that contains an income per day.
This class has two persistent properties - populated from a database table - date and income.
And there is one transient property - running balance - that shows the accumulated income
starting from the first record. This property is not persisted and it is used only to show
the running/accumulated income in a table view.
This domain object is shown in a table view with three columns:
     - date
     - income
     - running balance
The first two columns - date and income - are sortable. When the user clicks on the column
heading these can will be sorted in ascending or descending order. The running balance
column needs to reflect this change and be correctly updated.
So the question is : how would you implement the running balance update after the data in
the table has been updated by the user?
Take 1)
=============
The obvious approach is to use "setOnSort" method to consume the SortEvent event and re-sort the
data but the sort-event does not contain any useful information that would tell from which column
the sort event originated.
Take 2)
=============
Found a possible solution:
     - TableView.getSortOrder() returns a list that defines the order in which TableColumn instances are sorted after the user clicked one or more column headings.
     - TableColumn.getSortType() returns the sort type - ascending/descending.
     - This info can be used in the TableView.setOnSort() event handler to re-sort the data and update the balance at the same time.
Take 3)
=============
When the TableView.setOnSort() event handler is called the data is already sorted therefore the only thing that needs to be done is to update the running balance.

I think I understand what you're trying to do. If I've missed it, apologies, but I think this will provide you with something you can work from anyway.
I would listen to the data instead of watching specifically for sorting. This will be much more robust if you add new functionality later (such as adding and removing rows, editing the data that's there, etc).
Specifically, for the runningBalance column, create a cellValueFactory that provides a DoubleBinding; this binding should listen for changes to the data and compute the value by running through the table's items up to the point of the item for which it's displaying the value. (Hope you can untangle that sentence.)
Example. The important part is the cellValueFactory for the cumulativeAmountCol. I guess I should mention that you shouldn't try this exact approach with very large tables as the performance might be pretty bad (computations of the order of n x m on changing data, where n is the number of rows in the table and m is the number of visible rows in the table).

How to replace the string of column value with other column value in same table


I have a temp table which contains
Id Name CTC Address Content
1 Ross $200 6th block Dear #Name your CTC is #CTC and your address is #address
2 Jhon $300 1oth cross   Dear #Name your CTC is #CTC and your address is #address
Now i want to select content so that it should get replace with the respective columns and final output should come like this
Dear Ross your CTC is 200 and your address is    6th block
Dear Jhon your CTC is 300 and your address is 10th cross
Kindly suggest

I think RSingh suggestion is ok ... what do you mean by another way? ...maybe something more generic?
maybe build a table whith the list of col you need to "replace" and dinamically build the replace query ...
declare @colList table(colName varchar(100))
insert into @colList
select 'name'
union all select 'ctc'
union all select 'address'
declare @cmd varchar(2000)
select @cmd='select '+ (select 'replace(' from @colList for xml path('') +' content '+
(select ',''#'+ colName +''', '+ colName +')' from @colList for xml path(''))
+' from YOURTABLENAME '
exec (@cmd)
or your request was different ?

How to run an XML Report from Oracle Forms 10G

Hello Friends,
I am in need of showing a xml report output through a button press trigger in Oracle Forms10G.
I have designed the report in XML Publisher and the report looks fine.I found few scripts useful in running the Oracle Report from Oracle forms10G like Run_Report_Object.But I am not aware of any script that could run a XML report and show the output directly from a Form.
All I want is to run a XML report from an Oracle Form with a button press trigger and show the output in an html version.
Can this be achieved?
If so, Kindly advise as this is an immediate work.

Query to add a column in between existing cols of a table?

HI All,
I have two questions.
1. Query to add a column in between existing cols of a table? (not at the end. This is view of an order of output fields in a report)
2. How do I swap the contents of two columns in a table. Suppose in a table tab there are 2 cols , col1,col2 populated with some data.
I need a query(probably) to swap the col1 and col2 values . NOT AS A RESULT SET, BUT IT NEEDS TO GET CHANGED IN THE TABLE.
Please help !

> 1. Query to add a column in between existing cols of

Not really sensible ito DBMS - it does not care how you want to view the data. The sequence and formats of columns are what you/the application need to specify in the SQL's projection clause.
Also keep in mind to achieve this, the DBMS will need to rewrite the entire table to fit this new column in-between existing columns. This is not the best of ideas.
The projection of rows is dealt with SQL statements - not with the physical storage implementation.

TestStand 3.1 XML Reports in TS4.1

I am trying to implement TestStand 4.1 in our facility as seamlessly as possible. This means I still need to run TS3.1 sequences with no modifications on both systems with TS3.1 and with TS4.1.
My problem is with the creation of xml documents when run in TS4.1. When we first implemented xml it was on TS2.0 which didn't support xml at the time. So some patch was downloaded from NI I believe and it worked fine. We continued to use the patch when we switch to TS3.1. But when I now run the TS3.1 sequences in TS4.1 the reports are generated, but slightly differently, I cannot view the xml document in I.E. The error is:
"Required white space was missing. Error processing resource"
and the offending line(s) in the report are:   <ATMLStylesheetMRU type=" dimensions="[0..2]" decimateBy="0">
<Element type="" index="[0]" name="ATMLStylesheetMRU" >trml.xsl</Element>
<Element type="" index="[1]" name="ATMLStylesheetMRU" ></Element>
<Element type="" index="[2]" name="ATMLStylesheetMRU" ></Element>
</ATMLStylesheetMRU>
These lines do not appear in the report if the sequence is run with TS3.1.
I modified the TS3.1 Process model and ReportGen_XMLseq to use the original "modelsupport.dll" from TestStand 3.1 since the TS4.1 version didn't support some of the commands called. I also changed the report.xsl and horizonal.xsl called from the process model to the TestStand 4.1 versions, but the problem is still there.
I admit to not knowing exactly how the reports are generated, but I suspect the above lines are there because the API calls are to the TS4.1 engine as it is the active TestStand version. Looking for any sort of help on this one, not that well versed in xml. Am I trying to do the impossible? I don't want to switch the reports to the TS4.1 format at this time, as we have custom software that imports the data and it currently doesn't work with the TS4.1 report format.
Thanks

Cabman,
In TS 3.5 we added a new type of report called ATML. The
offending lines in the report that you are refering to, is to store
stylesheet information for this new report format.
But adding these new properties to ReportOptions should not cause the issues you are describing.
I
did notice that the text you pasted is not exactly what we generate in
TS 4.1.Here is why we generate in TS 4.1 for xml reports
    <Prop Name='ATMLStylesheetMRU' Type='Array' LBound='[0]' HBound='[2]' ElementType='String' Flags='0x0'>
       <Value ID='[0]'>trml.xsl</Value>
       <Value ID='[1]'></Value>
       <Value ID='[2]'></Value>
   </Prop>
In
the text you pasted, I noticed that type attribute is empty in all 4
lines and also the generated XML snippet looks different.
I am not sure how your XML report was generated, but that might be the issue.
In TS 3.0, we introduced a new API called PropertyObject.GetXML which can be used to generate an XML report.
To help diagnose the problem I have a couple of questions.
1. Do you still use your TS 2.0 process models or are you using TS 4.1's process models?
2.
Can you give me more details of how does the XML report get generated
in your system? Are you using the 2.0 XML report generation mechaism or
did you move to using TS 4.1's XML report generator?

Modifying the header of an xml report

I am looking to add some additional information to the header of horozontal.xsl but am struggling to find the right format. At present i have rewritten the modifyreportheader callback. It works fine for text but i cant get it to work for xml. Any suggestions? Many thanks in advance

How to use SQL*Loader to load XMLType Column with other columns?

Hi,
I am trying to use sqlldr to load an XML file into a table with an XMLType column. I have found plenty of examples where the entire table is an xmltype, but I would like to load many XML objects into a generic table for processing with one XMLType column and many other columns to identify the load. As a simple example, I have one constant column which I want to set during the upload.
The following example does not work :(. No errors either.
create table xml_upload
(upload_type varchar2(10) not null,
xml_data XMLType)
my control file:
LOAD DATA
INFILE * append
INTO TABLE xml_upload
XMLType(xml_data)
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"'
upload_type constant MARKET,
xml_data
BEGINDATA
<SALE_ORDER>
<CUST_CODE>TIM</CUST_CODE>
<ORDER_NUM>1234></ORDER_NUM>
</SALE_ORDER>
$ sqlldr my.ctl

Any ideas on how I can do this? Am I missing something...
I have also been playing with the lobfile clause of sqlldr, also without any success...
Current database version is 10g R2.
Thanks,
Tim.
